the clock is ticking, literally, to the fiscal cliff. and as others have noted today, we have known about this cliff for 500 days. this is the world's most anticipatable political and economic problem. congress set this time bomb, now they are scrambling to defuse it before it goes off and threatens to take our economic recovery as a country and kick us back into recession. the fact this is happening in last-minute negotiations and great knew as dana bash reported that joe biden and mitch mcconnell seem to be backchanneling and got a constructive relationship in the past, this is great but this is all being done piecemeal and that fact shouldn't give anybody a great deal of confidence it is pathetic we are here at this hour facing the fiscal cliff. >> that's the point i wanted to raise with you. you obviously have followed congress. you know how all this inside trading works, so to speak. does it feel like the wheels are coming off that we are now off the script, that this is totally in territory we had not anticipated we would be at? >>
